flutter build ipa fails during archive but fine locally

[xni06]

If you are looking for help, please confirm the following...

• I confirm I have searched the Docs, Codemagic Sample Projects, and GitHub Discussions.
• I confirm the software versions on my local computer match the ones in CI environment (e.g. Xcode version, Gradle version). See here
• I confirm I am able to do a fresh clone of the repository and build the project on my local computer.

Which mobile framework are you using?

Flutter (Dart)

Steps to reproduce

Run codemagic.yaml workflow or the following

flutter build ipa --release \
  --flavor development \
  --target lib/main_development.dart

Expected results

Locally, this is what I get:

flutter build ipa --release \
  --flavor development \
  --target lib/main_development.dart

Built IPA to /Users/rhisiart/dev/apex/ags/build/ios/ipa.
To upload to the App Store either:
    1. Drag and drop the "build/ios/ipa/*.ipa" bundle into the Apple Transporter macOS app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/transporter/id1450874784
    2. Run "xcrun altool --upload-app --type ios -f build/ios/ipa/*.ipa --apiKey your_api_key --apiIssuer your_issuer_id".
       See "man altool" for details about how to authenticate with the App Store Connect API key.

Actual results

From a Codemagic SSH/VNC session following a failed workflow, I see this:

builder@builders-Virtual-Machine clone % flutter build ipa --release \
  --flavor development \
  --target lib/main_development.dart

Encountered error while archiving for device.

... while in the actual workflow logs I see this: flutter_build_ipa (3).log

Did you end up figuring this out? I am running into a similar error and am having trouble fixing it

[xni06]

I've since moved away from Codemagic and instead use GitHub Actions and Fastlane where I have more control over the environment
